"Mm—"
Just then, Su Rou and Su Mei suddenly trembled, both letting out a soft moan in unison.
Seeing this, Chu Feng and the Refining Immortal tensed up and quickly stepped forward to check on them.
After a careful examination revealed nothing abnormal, the two of them finally relaxed.
"Senior, where is Ziling now?" Chu Feng suddenly asked.
Even though Su Rou and Su Mei were unconscious and Chu Feng wasn’t overly worried, he was still concerned. But beyond the two of them, Chu Feng was also very worried about Ziling.
In truth, compared to Su Rou and Su Mei, Chu Feng’s feelings for Ziling ran a little deeper in his heart. After all, he and Ziling had shared more experiences together.
However, ever since leaving the Nine Provinces Continent, due to various reasons, Chu Feng had rarely been able to stay by Ziling’s side. This made his guilt toward her even stronger.
"That young lady was taken away by that senior, and by that person’s side, she will be absolutely safe. So, Chu Feng, you don’t need to worry about Ziling," the Refining Immortal said to him.
"Taken away?" Chu Feng was stunned. "Why was she taken away?"
"He didn’t say much, only that it was a good thing," the Refining Immortal replied. As if fearing Chu Feng would still worry, he added, "Rest assured. In my opinion, that senior’s strength is not inferior to the Elf King or the Heaven Reaching Immortal. So she is safe with him. You need not be concerned."
Hearing this, Chu Feng’s heart skipped a beat.
How powerful was the Elf King? In Chu Feng’s view, he should be the undisputed strongest expert in the Martial Holy Land.
Yet now, the Refining Immortal was comparing that mysterious senior, and even the Heaven Reaching Immortal—who ranked first among the Ten Immortals—to the Elf King.
Could it be that in the Martial Holy Land, there really were existences as powerful as the Elf King? That would mean peak Martial Emperor, infinitely close to the Half Ancestor realm.
"Could it be that in the Martial Holy Land, there isn’t just the Elf King at the peak of the Martial Emperor realm?" Chu Feng asked.
During his contact with Immortal Meow, he had learned that the Elf King’s cultivation was that of a Ninth Degree Martial Emperor, the absolute peak.
If the Heaven Reaching Immortal and that mysterious blind elder possessed cultivation equal to the Elf King, then they too should be Ninth Degree Martial Emperors.
"As far as I know, the Heaven Reaching Immortal is indeed at the peak of the Martial Emperor realm. But as for that senior… to be honest, I don’t know what his cultivation level is," the Refining Immortal said.
"So, Senior, you don’t know much about that elder either?" Chu Feng asked.
"I do know him from the past, but I know very little about him. I don’t even know his name," the Refining Immortal said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.
"That senior is indeed mysterious. But I never expected the Heaven Reaching Immortal to be that powerful—his strength actually comparable to the Elf King."
The Heaven Reaching Immortal’s cultivation truly surprised Chu Feng. He had originally thought the Heaven Reaching Immortal was at the same level as the World Destroying Immortal, both Eighth Degree Martial Emperors. He hadn’t anticipated that the Heaven Reaching Immortal was actually at the peak of the Martial Emperor realm.
"The Heaven Reaching Immortal was already a renowned expert during the era of the Green Emperor. He simply doesn’t care for fame and profit. As for his strength, it is extremely formidable," the Refining Immortal explained.
"What is the Heaven Reaching Immortal’s character like? He won’t join the Dark Hall, will he?" Chu Feng asked worriedly.
The Dark Hall currently displayed terrifying strength. So many experts had already joined them. Chu Feng was truly concerned that even the Heaven Reaching Immortal might become one of them.
After all, from what the Refining Immortal implied, the Heaven Reaching Immortal’s age exceeded ten thousand years. For a human to live that long was inconceivable—he was likely at the limit of his lifespan.
And the Master of the Dark Hall came from beyond the heavens, knowing many marvelous techniques unknown to the people of the Martial Holy Land. If he offered a method to extend his life, it was possible the Heaven Reaching Immortal might work for him.
"Rest easy on that point. The Heaven Reaching Immortal will not submit to anyone," the Refining Immortal said with great certainty.
"That’s good then." Hearing this, Chu Feng felt somewhat relieved.
Swoosh—
